I'm a bit worried because I've noticed small red spots on the inner head of my penis. They showed up about 23 days after I had oral sex, and they're giving me a slight sensation. Could you please let me know what this might be and what steps I should take?

The small red spots on the inner head of your penis, accompanied by a slight sensation, may be caused by several factors related to oral sex. Here are some possible explanations:
Possible Causes
- Irritation or Allergic Reaction: Your partner's mouth or saliva might have caused irritation or an allergic reaction, leading to red spots and discomfort.
- Cuts or Micro-Trauma: Minor cuts or micro-trauma during oral sex can cause red spots and sensitivity.
- STDs or STIs: Certain sexually transmitted diseases (STDs) or infections (STIs), such as herpes, syphilis, or gonorrhea, can cause red spots or sores on the genitals.
- Balanitis: This is an inflammation of the glans penis, often caused by poor hygiene, irritation, or infection.
Next Steps
- Consult a Doctor: Schedule an appointment with your primary care physician, urologist, or a dermatologist to evaluate the red spots and determine the underlying cause.
- Get Tested for STDsSTIs: Even if you're in a monogamous relationship, it's essential to get tested for STDsSTIs to rule out any potential infections.
- Practice Good Hygiene: Maintain good genital hygiene, and avoid any further irritation or trauma to the affected area.
- Abstain from Sexual Activity: Avoid any sexual activity until you've consulted a doctor and received proper guidance.

I have a 7x5 mm stone in my left vesicoureteric junction but all other reports are normal can it be treated with meds or do I need surgery
A 7x5 mm stone at the vesicoureteral junction (VUJ) can be treated with medication or surgery depending on individual factors. While some stones this size might pass naturally with medical expulsion therapy (MET), including pain management and increasing fluids, surgical intervention may be necessary, especially if the stone is causing obstruction or infection. The decision will depend on factors like the stone's location, your symptoms, overall health, and the potential risks and benefits of each treatment option
